The Marlins 31-year-old left fielder came up three times with runs in scoring position ..and made three outs. The bases were loaded. There were two guys on base. He's supposed to be the godfather of this team....and he screwed his godchildren.

But that really doesn't matter. Because of his mistakes, we lost ground against both the Mets and the Phils. His final out of the game -- he was 0 for 5 batting in the second position -- was the last straw. He left two guys on base, thus snuffing out the last rally.
